## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

Since the AGM in May 2022, the Trustees have been very busy. **Summary of the main achievements of the charity** The hall continues to be a much-loved and well-used facility with groups **during the year** using it every weekday.  It is also used for regular cinema showings. Faced with the need for extensive repairs and renovations to ensure electrical safety, the Trustees successfully obtained a grant of £5,800 and were able to carry out the work. The Trustees have struggled to find the funds required to repair the bellcote on the roof, which has deteriorated badly and is leaking.  Almost £25,000 is required.  Despite being turned down by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Trustees have managed to obtain grants totalling £10,000 towards the costs of repairs. An extensive renovation of the bar area, with repainting and decoration, has resulted in a much better use of the small hall. The Trustees have commenced fund raising activities, including a successful Christmas craft fair, whisky tasting and well-attended Burns supper. A new website and Facebook page have been implemented.

## **Section E** 

## **Financial review** 

The Trustees have no current policy on reserves other than to retain an **Brief statement of the** amount of £7,000 or so towards repair and renovation of the two rental **charity’s policy on reserves** properties. 

**Details of any funds materially** There is no deficit as such, but the Trustees are faced with a need to find **in deficit** £25,00 to repair the bell-cote on the roof. 

## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: 

- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); 

- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; 

The principal source of funds is rental of the hall as used by groups, but has been augmented by fund-raising activities which are planned to increase in the following financial year. 

Maintenance of the hall is expensive and the Trust does not currently meet the costs of maintenance out of the proceeds of rental of the hall itself.  Expenditure is essential though in order to provide a safe warm space for community use.  The nearest alternative facilities are some 1215 miles away: public transport services are very limited and the age profile of the community includes a large number of elderly. 

- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. 

## **Section F                     Other optional information** 

## **Section G                    Declaration** 

**The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.**
